When can a homeowners association put a lien on a home?

Answer by  Jess35 (445)

A homeowners association can legally put a lien on a home when the owners haven't paid assessments that they owe. The association can put a lien on a home once the rules or fines have been disregarded. A lien is also dependent on the state law.

A homeowners association can put a lien on a home if the owner of that home has failed to pay homeowners association dues associated with that neighborhood. The lien will consist of any and all unpaid dues, and this means the association will first get paid before the homeowner in the event that homeowner sells his home.

When homeowner association dues or fines are not paid the homeowners association can put a lien on your home. This means that in the event you sell your home, the homeowner association will receive payment that is due to them before you get your money for the house. Contact a lawyer to find out the laws where you live.
